Ayuba Suleiman Diallo
Artist: William Hoare (English, c. 1707-1792)
Date: 1733
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: National Portrait Gallery, London, United Kingdom
Description
Ayuba Suleiman Diallo was an educated man from a family of Muslim clerics in West Africa. In 1731 he was taken into slavery and sent to work on a plantation in America. By his own enterprise, and assisted by a series of spectacular strokes of fortune, Diallo arrived in London in 1733. Recognized as a deeply pious and educated man, in England Diallo mixed with high and intellectual society, was introduced at Court and was bought out of slavery by public subscription. Through the publication of his Memoirs in 1734, Diallo had an important and lasting impact on Britain’s understanding of West African culture, black identity and Islam. In the early years of the nineteenth-century, advocates of the abolition of slavery would cite Diallo as a key figure in asserting the moral rights and humanity of black people.

Artist: Jean-Etienne Liotard (Genevan, 17021789)
Date: 1749
Medium: Pastel
Collection: Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Maria Josepha of Saxony, Dauphine of France
Maria Josepha of Saxony (1731-1767), known for her intelligence, gentleness and righteousness, was the daughter of Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony, and Archduchess Maria Josepha of Austria, daughter of the late Emperor Joseph I of the Holy Roman Empire.
In 1747, aged only 15, she married Louis of France, eldest son of Louis XV and Maria Leszczyńska. She was the mother of eight children, notably the last three French kings of the House of Bourbon, Louis XVI, Louis XVIII and Charles X, and two daughters, Clothilde, declared venerable by the Catholic Church, and Elisabeth, who also died in odour of sanctity.
She never became Queen of France because the Dauphin Louis died in 1765 while Louis XV was still alive.
